geoparks
A geopark is a designated area that promotes geological heritage and conservation while encouraging sustainable tourism. These parks showcase unique geological features, such as rock formations, fossils, and landscapes, which help to educate visitors about Earth’s history and processes.
Geoparks often collaborate with local communities to promote environmental awareness and cultural heritage. They may offer guided tours, educational programs, and activities that highlight the importance of geology in understanding natural resources and ecosystems. Notable examples include the UNESCO Global Geoparks network, which recognizes sites of international significance.
